There is absolutely nothing wrong with the rule, college overtimes are very silly, yet I will admit they are exciting.

yes, i know they can. my question is, why play an extra quarter if it can end in a tie anyway? the players are all beat to hell by seasons' end anyway, i doubt they'd cry over losing an extra quarter in a regular season game.
